Nine Hundred and Forty-One: The 3 Cities Owed to Us Should Be Paid Back (3)

Even so, the fourth prince still said something threateningly.

"Mr. Sun said this in front of Gu, isn't he afraid that Gu will offend you, or even kill you?"

As soon as the words fell, the fourth prince's eyes showed a terrifying murderous intent, and the scimitar at his waist was already out of its sheath.

"Fear, of course I am afraid. Who can not be afraid of death? Although this old man is forty-six this year, he still hasn't lived enough."

Sun Wen was calm and composed, looking at the fourth prince with a half-smile, his eyes shone with wisdom and confidence. His eyes clearly conveyed a message - he is not afraid! He was not afraid of the fourth prince's death threat, and he didn't even think that the other party would actually convict him.

The two looked at each other for a while, the fourth prince gasped heavily, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, he raised his hand and put the scimitar back into its sheath.

"Forget it, if Mr. Sun has anything to say, just say it, just listen to me."

After all, he sat back unwillingly.

In terms of scheming, how can the fourth prince be Sun Wen's opponent?

In terms of mental toughness, Sun Wen even achieved the detached state of "Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his color, and the elk rises to his left without blinking his eyes".

After a contest between the two, Sun Wen still won, which completely dispelled the suspicion of the fourth prince.

Sun Wen said with a smile, "The three cities in Shangyu County are tasteless to eat, so it's not a pity to discard them. It's better to make good use of them. Using it as bait can not only hurt Liu Xi, but also make it difficult for her to send troops to threaten the North within a year or two." Xinjiang, and help the Fourth Highness eradicate the serious trouble?"

A stern look flashed across the eyes of the fourth prince, and he said, "Gu's confidant is in serious trouble?"

Sun Wendao, "Northern Xinjiang has always paid attention to the establishment of talents and the selection of talents. No matter how high or low the family background is, the Fourth Highness is naturally qualified to ascend to the throne."

If the succession system of the eldest son of the Han family is followed, maybe all the brothers are dead, and the fourth prince has no right to inherit.

Who made his mother just a slave girl for fun?

However, the customs in northern Xinjiang are different from those in the Central Plains.

The rules in Northern Xinjiang are that there are no rules, and whoever is stronger can inherit more property.

Even if the fourth prince is only the son of a female slave, he is still qualified to inherit the throne, as long as he is strong enough.

With a short sentence, Sun Wen quickly and accurately hit the fourth prince's weakness.

The fourth prince's hand holding the scimitar trembled, and even his breathing paused suspiciously.

Of course he knew he was qualified, but being qualified didn't mean having hope.

His mother family is too weak, the original capital is poor, and the starting point is the lowest among several brothers.

If he wanted to overthrow the eight brothers around him and ascend to the throne, he had to pass five trials and kill six generals.

"You feel lonely... there is hope?"

The fourth prince was short of breath, and if Sun Wen could lay out such a trap, if he could help him with all his strength, the throne might not be impossible.

"It's up to man, how do you know it won't work if you don't try it?" Sun Wen's expression was indifferent, neither pleased with things nor sad with himself, as if detached from the world, "Among the nine princes, the second prince has the strongest army. If the fourth prince If you want to get your hands on the throne, he is the first thing you have to get rid of. The eldest prince seeks to protect himself by means of self-defilement, and he is also accumulating strength in secret, so he has to guard against it. There is a trick in writing, and one stone kills birds. Use the three cities of Shangyu County in exchange for Liu Xi Unable to mobilize troops, the eldest prince and the second prince are all abolished, so, do you think it is worthwhile?"

If Jiang Pengji had told this to her, she probably would have wrung the man's head off long ago.

Do you know what it means to not give up an inch of land?

Even if the land is left to grow weeds or become a cesspit, no one else can get involved.

For the sake of the three-meter border, Jiang Pengji once poked the foreheads of her neighbors in the Federation with the muzzle of a gun, forcing them to negotiate.

The Seventh Legion is one of the three main battle legions.

She spoke directly to the messenger—

Either put your legs back, or go straight to war!

Fortunately, the object of Sun Wen's conversation was the fourth prince, not the murderous Jiang Pengji.

The fourth prince's eyelids twitched violently, and his heart beat wildly.

He was about the same age as the eldest prince and the second prince, and he was often bullied, humiliated and squeezed by the two of them when he was young.

For the fourth prince, those two people were like two mountains piled up in front of him.

Hopelessly high.

At this moment, Sun Wen told himself that he could get rid of these two people, and even prevent Liu Xi from mobilizing troops!

"Sir—tell Gu quickly!"

The fourth prince clenched his fists nervously, unconsciously, Sun Wen had full control over his emotions.

"His Highness, come here with your ears."

Sun Wen lowered his eyes, and the fourth prince quickly leaned over and listened.

"Mr. Sun, please speak."

"Now it's the end of the autumn grain season, and the grain is coming into the grain depot one after another. The second prince has an impatient personality and is eager for quick success, but he is not good at management. In recent years, the price of grain in northern Xinjiang has soared. With so many private soldiers under his command, the grain has long been unable to make ends meet. The fourth prince might as well make a map of the Chongzhou Tuntian Grain Depot and reveal it to the second prince. With the temperament of the second prince, he will definitely keep the secret and take all the benefits."

What is grass valley?

The soldiers and horses are not given food and grass, and there is no logistical support. They rely entirely on the soldiers to raise their own supplies, plunder the people's food, grass and property, and are self-sufficient.

Northern Xinjiang cavalry often harassed the people of Chongzhou, plundered houses, and searched for food and grass.

At first, when they learned that Jiang Pengji was farming in Chongzhou, they wanted to repeat the old trick.

However, Jiang Pengji is too treacherous, and the address of the grain depot where the autumn grain is stored is different every year.

Beijiang tried to fight Caogu. Except for the first small victory, the soldiers who went to fight Caogu almost died of starvation in Chongzhou.

After suffering a few losses, they knew that Jiang Pengji's advantages were not easy to take advantage of, and that hunting grass valleys had little effect.

Today, northern Xinjiang rarely organizes large-scale cavalry to fight grass valleys.

If the second prince wants to swallow this autumn grain without anyone noticing, he must not get close to the border in the name of Dacaogu.

Sun Wen continued, "In this way, in order to prevent the outside world from keeping secrets, the second prince will definitely ask Xu to guard the three cities of Shangyu for convenience. The fourth prince will make a small plan and send someone to pretend to be Liu Xi's soldiers to kill Liu Xi. He has several personal guards, and the second prince will put the blame on Liu Xi. But you have to remember, you must not let your personal guards pretend, it is best to let someone who is the eldest prince do it Even if the deeds are exposed, others will only find out that it was the Eldest Prince who deliberately stirred up the war between the Second Prince and Liu Xi."

The fourth prince nodded while listening.

Sun Wen said again, "Liu Xi has a bursting personality, and the second prince has a self-willed temper. If these two match up, it is impossible not to fight. However, no matter how many private soldiers the second prince has, how long can he resist Liu Xi?" The three cities of Shangyu County have not been repaired for many years, and they can’t resist Liu Xi’s strong soldiers. It’s fine if the second prince dies in battle, but if he doesn’t...not only ruined his carefully raised private soldiers, but also let the king see the number of his private soldiers, See clearly his ambitions. As for the eldest prince who deliberately provoked a war between the two sides, he will not be able to please him either."

As the fourth prince listened, he felt terrified and at the same time uncontrollably excited.

Soon he came back to his senses——

"What about Liu Xi?"

Sun Wen said with a smile, "The three cities of Shangyu are already in ruins. Liu Xi still needs to deal with the aftermath after the capture. Doesn't that just distract her energy? How will she have the energy to go to war again in a year or two?"

The fourth prince's eyes lit up.

Yes, as long as this year or two is delayed, the situation in northern Xinjiang will be great!

"Mr. is really clever!"

Sun Wen chuckled.
